Based on purely anecdotal evidence, at last count I had Veronique Drouhin (Domaine Drouhin), Maggie Harrison (Antica Terra), Kim Kramer (Kramer Vineyards), Rebecca Pittock-Shouldis (Ghost Hill), Melissa Burr (Stoller Family Estate) and Lynn Penner-Ash (Penner-Ash).
In 2005 Rebecca Pittock-Shouldis of Ghost Hill Cellars chose to leave a full-time career in aviation as an Oregon Air National Guard maintenance technician on the F-15 Fighter Aircraft to pursue her passion for wine.
